That's where you problem begins - and where it could end. Why not just an icon - even a favorite other-image with an on-click event. Or any such diversion form being drowned in this metamorphosized bloat-ware.

It's not about the work involved.
It's about the fact that it's gone from a single file which had multiple image sizes in it to needing a stupid amount of files and inclusion methods.
Browser vendors making up standards as they go along, OS writers deciding they want to do things their own way.
1 single file is all that's ever needed. Just one.

My guess would be that it's some combination of vendors not wanting to rely on a Microsoft file format, and mobile browsers not wanting to download every possible image size over a slow / metered network just to display one of them.
Possibly with a hint of xkcd 927[^] as well.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Seems like everyone has started to catch up to what I have been saying for years...
Microsoft's WebForms was the zenith of web development capability. True, it did have its issues but it was in the process of being refined and optimized when the entire community decided to change course and start with this MVC bulls**t.
Everyone said that this new way was the right way to build web applications! Considering that the web, even as it still is today, was never designed to host such complexity in the first place, there was and never will be a right way until the underlying topology and protocols change that are more suited to a standardized form of development.
To date, I believe Russia is the only nation developing a modern internet infrastructure, while everyone else is pissing their monies away on stupid conflicts...

WebAssembly (wasm) is what is right with web development. I have been developing wasm with Blazor (HTML and C#, no JS or JS libraries/frameworks). No browser incompatibilities (that I have found). Not even CSS is needed. Better performance, quicker time to market, better unit testing and step-through debugging. All around makes web app development so much better, at least for me. YMMV.
Lots of languages (except JS) support wasm. My preference is Blazor, but the important thing is wasm in place of HTML/JS/CSS.

I hate when you are forced to give Full Control to folder to someone because they are a Very Important Person, and then they go in and take ownership and then remove all other users from any sort of access (to include Administrators), and then they go away or die or something and NO ONE can get into the folder ever again.
And then you get a ticket asking you to restore access to the folder.

I am sure this is possible. Google search "insure everything" gives a lot of interesting options. I am afraid to post any link from this list, it may be marked as spam

As the administrator you can always take ownership of subfolders and then you can change the access
|
|
|
|
|
Not true. When I try to take ownership it says I don't have permission. I don't even have permission to see who is the current owner. Yay, Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
Do you have ownership of the parent folder?
